Later today you’ll be able check out this weekend’s movie guide, featuring all of those great movies that you’re looking forward to seeing by yourself, but one film that arrives in theaters today simply deserved its own post. Mardi Gras: Spring Break is the tale of three friends who decide to go on the craziest Spring Break in the history of mankind, because this movie needed to be made again. And again. And one more time for luck.

Mardi Gras stars Nicholas D’Agosto, who played that flying kid when “Heroes” started to suck, and Josh Gad, whose IMDb profile suggests that he is the recipient of all the roles that Jonah Hill stopped receiving, as two poon-starved friends who are joined by a third that I forgot to look up as they embark on their rites of manhood.

For three college guys, it’s senior year and the co-ed experience has left them high and dry. Their solution: A road trip to Mardi Gras, where beautiful babes are happy to lift their shirts and open containers are always welcome. But after dressing in drag, breaking into Carmen Electra’s hotel room, starring in a scandalous sex show and accidentally exploding a feces bomb in a swank hotel lobby, will the Mardi Gras magic kick in and their wildest fantasies come true?

When was this movie written? Did Dean Cameron and C. Thomas Howell bury this script in a time capsule with specific instructions for writer Josh Heald to not dig it up again until the world was ready for another glorious Spring Break adventure? And Carmen Electra plays herself. I would have guessed a grandmother.

The worst part of all of this is I can’t even muster the effort that would be required of me to be disappoint.

Better man than me. I’d be nostalgic for levee failure.

Whooaaa Nelly! These tools are seniors in college and haven’t gotten laid, yet? When is this set, 1952? Are they paralyzed? Stricken with elephantitis? Part of some evangelical cult of eunuchs? Did they finally decide to flush their promise rings down the shitter and snatch some tang instead of guilt jerking it while creeping FB? Seriously, WTF?

Obviously I’m not watching that trailer so I’ll just draw my own conclusions.

Gad is one of the leads in Book of Mormon on Broadway, which simultaneously makes him gayer and cooler than Jonah Hill

In my (pre-internet) youth, a movie like this would appeal because there was all kinds of half-nakedry in it, and I was a shitty little kid. Why in the shit would they make a movie like this in 2011? There’s just as much awful writing in Bang Bros videos, and those are free!

OK, so the star of this isn’t the kid from Reaper? And the character Scotty isn’t listed on the IMDB page? And there’s nothing better I can do with my time?

Thanks for the banner add Filmbuff. Now I want to f*ck Javier Bardem.

Wait. That came out exactly right.

Better title: Spring Break Port of Call New Orleans.

Dean Cameron reference, excellent work Burnsy. I will have to dust off the old VHS and watch Ski School this weekend.

Yeah, Gad is in Book of Mormon and on the Daily Show. He’s pretty big right now everywhere except in movies.

I’m confused. Heroes sucked from the get-go.

Gad was also pretty great as the douchebag Young Republican in Party Down. Why did you have to leave us, Party Down? We just wanted to love you.
